This so reminds me of the Bridgeport General, a ragged aged man who 
late in his life moved so slow, and so crankily, on his corner at the 
bottom of the hill in that village, he was often taken for an 
animatronic statue imbued with Tourette's. By his oddity in raiment, 
a somewhat mysterious history in the Great War, his cussing and his 
stink, which was considerable, he achieved wide reputation. A certain 
peculiarity of his related to this found manuscript's description of 
that magical disease - the Bridgeport General had a habit of spitting 
more or less continually - passing the candy shop full of kids, 
buying chewing tobacco at the variety store, checking his empty box 
at the post office. When he decided to volunteer his time helping 
kids cross the street, however, many folks thought this role 
inappropriate. In his picture here, he can be seen weilding his stop 
sign like a tired wand
